What this screen helps with

The marketplace messages screen supports “New message” while keeping inbox and projects in view. It should show the current state even when data is missing or access is restricted.

What to look for

  • Primary action: New message
  • Main area: Inbox brings the user to the relevant workflow
  • Related area: Projects keeps nearby context accessible
  • Unread: 12 in the sample screen
  • Active threads: 28 in the sample screen
  • Example 1: Maya · Product redesign
  • Example 2: Jon · React migration
  • Input: Client

States to consider

  • Default: Show the main workflow and its available next step
  • Loading: Preserve the page structure and explain what is still loading
  • Empty: Show that the current queue or filter has no matching conversations
  • Error: Keep draft replies and clearly mark send failures
  • Access: Show which actions require a role or permission
  • Success: Confirm the result after New message and say what happens next

Where it fits

Inbox → Projects → New message → Review result

UX choices to review

Keep the selected thread, sender, and next action visible

In this example, Maya · Product redesign is one of the records worth checking. Keep the sample data clearly separate from a live system.

Show ownership, priority, and reply state without hiding the conversation

Preserve a draft when the user switches threads or a send fails
